General Motors has sued the city of San Francisco, seeking to recover more than $100 million, alleging that it was charged a higher tax bill than warranted because its Cruise self-driving car unit was improperly used to make the calculations. In the case filed in California Superior Court in San Francisco, GM is seeking $108 million in back taxes over the course of seven years, as well as $13 million in penalties and interest, according to the complaint. The Detroit automaker said San Francisco-based Cruise is operated separately from GM, generates only a minimal amount of sales and should not be used to calculate GM’s liabilities in the city where the parent company has a limited presence.  ( 35 min )

A U.S. judge on Wednesday rejected Alibaba's bid to dismiss a lawsuit over the alleged sale by various merchants of counterfeit versions of the popular children's toy Squishmallows on its online platforms. U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan said Kelly Toys, whose parent Jazwares is owned by billionaire Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, plausibly alleged that Alibaba knew about and contributed to the merchants' infringement of its copyrights and trademarks. Kelly Toys said the sale of counterfeits on Alibaba has persisted despite six earlier lawsuits to stop it, with Alibaba ignoring its own "three-strike" policies and awarding some infringing merchants "Gold Supplier" and "Verified" status.  ( 34 min )
